"My beautiful family together forevermore," the Open Book author gushed in the caption. "I am proud of us for all that we have accomplished unconventionally with pure honesty. I love each of you exactly as you are…unconditionally, completely, fully, entirely, and endlessly. Happy 65th Birthday Dad!!! Bein’ loved by you has given purposeful soul to my life 2/18/2023."

“She had just told me what a nice time they had together on their anniversary, and she thought maybe they had turned a corner," the "With You" vocalist recalled. "I thought so, too. When she confronted him, my dad began calling me, and I would not pick up.”
